I believe Veritas has a product that allows you to continue to use ufs
filesystems, but has a special driver that completely bypasses the
double-buffering, which gives you the same performance as raw logical
volumes, but with all the integrity protections of ufs.

May be worth investigating if you'd like the best of both worlds.
